6 Fake Netflix Categories That Describe EA Season

You’ve probably thought at least a little about who would play you in the movie of your life, or what genre that movie would be. Maybe you’ve picked out the soundtrack. Maybe you already know the ending, or at least have high hopes. But what if this chunk of your life – college apps/EA decision season – was broken down into Netflix movie categories?

Movies Where The Protagonist Gets Really Nervous And Takes A Lot Of Naps
When I was waiting to hear back from the college I applied to ED, I was terrified. I would try to imagine exactly what I’d feel if I got accepted or rejected. Finally I reached the conclusion that I couldn’t actually handle it and I just took a nap.

Anyway, when I was waiting to hear back from my college choices, I was obsessed. I skipped meals, skipped out on hanging out with friends, procrastinated assignments – and not to do anything productive. I literally just sat around staring at pictures of the campus on the verge of tears.

You might think I’m exaggerating but I assure you, the only people more focused in their obsessions than me during admissions season were probably actual criminal masterminds.

Movies That Make You Cry

Movies Where Everything Turns Out Okay And The Future Is, If Uncertain, Bright
Who could have guessed that this was coming? Yes, the ending to this article and to a happy-ending movie might be a bit predictable, but there’s security in that. It’s nice to know you’re going to be okay, like the characters in these films:
